DataStage is somewhat outdated for an ETL. I guess that's what makes it a bit lagged behind its competitors. It can be used for data processing, sure, but its performance seems to be lagging behind or quite slow given the server it is running from. I won’t depend on this application if it's handling a lot of mission-critical banking and business data.

  • Auditing/versioning/event logs are helpful and effective.
  • Data model is very capable and flexible and provides advanced functionality out of the box.
  • Highly customizable, almost intimidating the number of options.
  • The bundled components (Patterns and ActiveSpaces) are necessary and are what really give the tool so many capabilities.

Cons
IBM
  • Technical support is a key area IBM should improve for this product. Sometimes our case is assigned to a support engineer and he has no idea of the product or services.
  • Provide custom reports for datastage jobs and performance such as job history reports, warning messages or error messages.
  • Make it fully compatible with Oracle and users can direct use of Oracle ODBC drivers instead of Data Direct driver. Same for SQL server.

  • Onboarding process was a bit difficult.
  • data visualizations could have a better UI.
  • Dashboard sometimes seems crowded, so another UI issue.

Usability
IBM
Because it is robust, and it is being continuously improved. DS is one of the most used and recognized tools in the market. Large companies have implemented it in the first instance to develop their DW, but finding the advantages it has, they could use it for other types of projects such as migrations, application feeding, etc.

Performance
IBM
It could load thousands of records in seconds. But in the Parallel version, you need to understand how to particionate the data. If you use the algorithms erroneously, or the functionalities that it gives for the parsing of data, the performance can fall drastically, even with few records. It is necessary to have people with experience to be able to determine which algorithm to use and understand why.

Support Rating
IBM
IBM offers different levels of support but in my experience being and IBM shop helps to get direct support from more knowledgeable technicians from IBM. Not sure on the cost of having this kind of support, but I know there's also general support and community blogs and websites on the Internet make it easy to troubleshoot issues whenever there's need for that.

It is quite better than Microsoft Access, as Microsoft Access is an already known software to all which is simple, easy, and productive; many people want a change in the software which is already present in the PC, so I chose this software, which is totally different and better than ever, to be the simplest and the most productive and the most powerful data management software.

Return on Investment
IBM
  • It’s hard to say at this point, it delivers, but not quite as I expected. It takes a lot of resources to manage and sort this out (manpower, financial).
  • Definitely, I don’t have the exact numbers, but given the data it processes, it is A LOT. So props to the developer of this application.
  • Again, based on my experience, I’d choose other ETL apps if there is one that's more user-friendly.
